People who highlight practically everything on a page when studying

Ohh jesus, that's one that's definitely NOT trivially annoying - people that write on their school books, or use highlighter marker or deface their books in any way! :mad:

I just transcribe passages and then write them out in my own words to remember them (a right royal pain when learning a programming language, but getting a flowchart down on paper is easier for me to visualize before I spend hours tearing my hair out on the laptop!).

I like to pass on my books to the next person in mint condition, and I'm the same when I buy reading books - I buy a lot of books new and second-hand and I hate seeing them written on in marker or biro. At least with pencil you can rub it out.

Even on books that I never intend to pass on or re sell or anything I can't deface them in any way. No "to x from y" notes on a book present, no highlighters or written notes, no nothing.

True, when I see people, I'm talking complete strangers, mark their place in a book by turning down the corner of the page, I want to tell them not to do it. Ridiculous, I know. If someone did it to a book of mine, I wouldn't be best pleased.

People questioning my humanity.

"czechlin, how come you are so cold? I don't get it? Are you human?"

No, I'm actually a lizard in disguise... And stop touching me.
Actually fcuk off altogether! :mad:

I will admit to the page corner folding:eek:, but when I see people folding a paperback completely cover to cover, it drives me bat****:mad:

people who say Robert Redofrd is still very handsome. No he isnt FFS.

The dentist in the Sensodyne ad who is being interviewed about people with sensitive teeth. He is trying to re-enact a conversation he has with a patient (client?) and what he should say is this:

"they say, "I've got sensitive teeth back again" and I say, "are you still using your sensodyne?" and they say "no" and I say "well, what do you expect?""

Right? Ok. What he actually says is:

"say, "I've got sensitive teeth back again" say, "are you still using your sensodyne?" say "no" say "well, what do you expect?""

OOOOOOOOOh m'gawd drives me mad! Watch it next time and you'll see what I mean.

Actually any advertisements that use "members of the general public"...

WASHLETS!!! Those actors remind me of the time in Friends, Joey got a job advertising some venereal disease cream!

Mmm. They're cheaper in the local pharmacy here than Dunnes, at €12.46 for the four-pack.

Superdrug used to do a big sheet of them, I remember my brother raving about what a good price they were, not sure if they still do it, always worth checking Amazon too.

Good ol Superdrug. I was in the UK a couple of years ago, and I had forgotten to pack toothpaste, there was a Superdrug beside the hotel where I bought a small tube of toothpaste for 10p.

Almost sure it was a six, could have been eight though. I must learn to shop around. Usually would buy with the weekly groceries so never really noticed before how expensive they are.............Might try the Aldi option:)

I bought them for the OH during the week.as Im sick of paying for the Mach 3 ones...will report back but I know he will say theyre ****e

Loads of trivials this morn..Got up at 7.30 but lid back into bed for few mins at 8.30and conked out..woke at 9.37 and had to be in town for 10.15 for hairdresser:( Hate rushing but jumped in the shower ,dressed and tore in the road only to get stuck behind a p*rick that gave way to every other car in the road..I parked on double yellows but I threw up a disc to take the harm out of it.:)
Hair done and then realised Id forgotten my ciggies so ran into a shop to buy them and went to pay with my laser only to be told Id have to pay a fee for using it..queried it and she said if I was buying anything else there would be no charge but there is for cigs:mad: any way I paid with cash as Im wasting enough money on them as it is.
Back to the car and a guy is struggling to park a truck behind it...ffs he was never going to get in but he kept bloody trying..He had the whole street held up and was about a hairs breath from my car..So I mouthed a few choice ones at him and took off...Home now and blood pressure is through the roof id say...is it too early to open a bottle of red ?:pac:

Hate all Sensodyne ads. Lowered voice sensitive teeth, they make it sound like a rare and shameful disease.
I use Sensodyne cos my dentist recommended it, in his normal voice!

People taking their seatbelt off early - like we're five hundred meters from where we're going to stop and park and she's taking off the seatbelt already.

Dad was getting the car NCT'd. Passed but while he was there a woman was refused because "there was a smell of dog" in her car! Now I am annoyed.

People who jump up out of their seats while the plane is still coming to a stop. The kn*bs have to then stand for ten minutes with their heads twisted at weird angles because they can't get into the aisle. Hah.

Or people swerving all over the road putting theirs on after they have starting driving.

Get in car, belt on, start driving. It's not that ****ing hard of a concept to grasp.

There's no signal to our Sky box so we have to plug the laptop into the tv to watch. The guy is coming on Monday to sort it out. Now we're going to have to talk to each other this weekend:eek: A whole weekend without the casual background noise of tv:(. We only have 1 laptop, I'll have to go upstairs and switch on the pc in the office, haven't used it in years.

Thats far from trivial Pumpkinseeds.:eek:..there must be an easier way around it...could you book into a hotel for the weekend or something?:D

It's been a very expensive week, so nothing leftover for a hotel. At the minute Mr P is up a step ladder in the kitchen skimming plaster on walls and doing various bits and pieces of prep before painting it this weekend. I've stocked the fridge with booze to keep him calm and sane:D

That's an even better idea than what I was going to suggest - a saorview box. You can pick them up in most electrical retailers for ~ €40, or a saorsat combi box (saorview + freesat) for ~ €70. Plug in a pair of rabbit ears and the feed from the sky box and you'd have the Irish channels plus a few of the English ones.

Yeahhh, the hotel still sounds better!

Im probably all wrong on this but isnt there a way to get some channels on the sky box without the signal...as in if you get disconnected you can still access some channels? Might be worth a try...I can honestly say that my OH wouldnt last an hour without tv and Im the same with the laptop.

Our sky was disconnected Xmas week and I had to ring up and say that he had left me in order to get them to discuss the a/c with me and then paid 100e ish to turn it back on:mad: we would have paid a 1000 tbh..:rolleyes:
